Chapter 1240: What Is This Called the American Dream?
"Okay, then I'll try to do it, where is the TV station?
"On Hong Kong Island, a TV station called Asia Today is an asset of the Li family, and I am ready to buy it. ”
"The Li family, the Li family who is engaged in real estate?"
"That's right. ”
"How much can I buy?"
"I estimate that it will be two or three hundred million Hong Kong dollars. ”
"Oh, two or three hundred million Hong Kong dollars, almost three million dollars, do you need help?"
Moran's family also has money, she feels that Liu Lang's money is in the stock market, and it is difficult to come up with too much cash at one time, if the other party opens up, she will ask for it from her family.
"Hehe, Sister Mo, don't worry, I'll find a way in terms of money, not only the acquisition funds, after the acquisition is completed, I will prepare 50 million US dollars for you, if it is not enough, add 50 million, in short, there is no problem with the money." ”
Liu Lang is on Hong Kong Island, but there are more than 500 million US dollars in the bank, which can be withdrawn at any time, and even all of it is fine, because making money is too easy for Liu Lang, and it is not the goal, Liu Lang's purpose is to make this TV station a super media like Fox and the New York Times.
Mo Lan was stunned when he heard this, looked at Liu Lang carefully, and casually took out 50 million US dollars, obviously Liu Lang was very confident.
"Liu Lang, it seems that you have a lot of stories over the years! When will you tell your sister about your experience over the years, and your sister will be happy!"
"No problem, but that's a long story, I'll tell my sister when I have time. ”
Mo Lan agreed to this matter, it was as simple as that, as if the two of them were talking about an inconspicuous trivial matter, but in fact, this was a big thing involving hundreds of millions of dollars, Liu Lang trusted Mo Lan, and Mo Lan felt that he could do it, which was fine.
Of course, Moran also put forward some conditions, such as finding some people she thinks are suitable to enter the management, she has also made a lot of friends at Stanford University, and the person who can make such a cold person a friend is of course a capable person, which Liu Lang agreed without hesitation.
Liu Lang wants to build a TV station with Chinese voices and shout out the voices of Chinese people in a world where Western public opinion dominates. This matter itself is not easy, of course ability is very important, but more importantly, it is necessary to have a heart for the sake of the Chinese, Mo Lan needless to say, she has no feelings for the motherland, and the people who can become her friends must not be those racists.
Soon that Aunt Sun came back, and when she saw Liu Lang, she was stunned at first, and then remembered that this child was a prodigy who had been here once two years ago, and her face was immediately full of smiles, and she grabbed Liu Lang's hand and asked for warmth, and the most she asked was how is the country now?
Aunt Sun has been abroad for four years, she was a very powerful doctor in China, but at that time the salary of domestic doctors was not high, she chose to come to the United States in order for her son to study abroad in the future, originally wanted to make more money with her own skills, but the reality is very cruel, she is not good at language, she has to learn English first, and American doctors have to get a license, and it is very difficult.
Aunt Sun has to re-learn the foreign medical system, although the domestic Western medicine and foreign Western medicine are the same system, but the gap between the two is too big, just like the United States is a college student, and the domestic is a junior high school student at best.
If Aunt Sun wants to realize her dream, she can only learn from scratch, but there is no problem with training institutions, these training schools can be found in the United States, you can spend money, but you have to spend time to learn! Aunt Sun has to make money to support herself on the one hand, and learn English on the other hand, and only when these two conditions are met can she sign up for the training class.
She was lucky to meet Moran, at that time Moran was preparing to apply for Stanford University, she was looking for a nanny to cook for her and clean up the house or something, the Chinese intermediary in Los Angeles found Aunt Sun, not by chance, but the Chinese intermediary agency itself has shares in the Situ family, and it is natural to be careful to find a nanny for the young master, this Aunt Sun herself is an intellectual, with high quality, and a doctor is a profession that takes care of people.
For this Aunt Sun, it is also her luck to meet Moran, Moran is usually studying, almost no social activities, except for school in her bedroom, Aunt Sun usually only cooks two meals, this small villa is not big, it is cleaned quickly, so there is not much work every day, Moran knows that she is in urgent need of money, so the salary is given a lot, basically similar to the regular workers in the United States.
has a place to live and a good salary, which solves the problem of Aunt Sun's survival at once, and then she has to study.
Aunt Sun didn't have much money to spend except for buying some living utensils for her own use, and sent home a half of her salary every month to her son and husband, and the rest of the money was spent on studying, studying for more than ten hours a day.
Like Moran, Aunt Sun has succeeded through her own efforts, and the language aspect has long been solved, although the accent is very poor, but the communication is no problem at all, and she has obtained the assistant physician certificate and can work with the certificate.
Aunt Sun also knew that Moran had graduated and was likely to leave here, but when she heard that Moran was about to leave the United States for Hong Kong Island, she still cried, if there was no Moran all these years, her life would definitely not be what it is now, she might be forced to return to China, or she might find a small restaurant to work and live, but it is more likely that she couldn't stand this pressure and collapsed.
In short, there is no possibility of success, because she has clearly seen the reality of American society, for an outsider, this is hell, less than one percent can succeed, eighty percent of her success is due to meeting Moran, look at those people like her, and even many of them have a mental breakdown and commit suicide.
She is sincerely grateful to Moran, Moran also cried very sadly, in the past few years, getting along day and night has made them feel like mother and daughter, and I don't know when we will be able to meet.
Liu Lang is also very sad, not because the two left, but because there are many people like Aunt Sun who come to the United States from China, and they are all passionate when they come out, and they feel that the United States must be a paradise of freedom, and they will definitely be able to hit a piece of the sky with their own skills, but when they arrive, they find that you can't live.
These people are really hard, they do odd jobs in restaurants, they earn four or five hundred dollars a month, they live in cold and damp places, they usually don't dare to go out, gangsters will rob these people, if you don't have money, they dare to kill you, anyway, most people have no identity, the key is that they can't see hope, there is really no hope at all, these people are compatriots!
Of course, if they can persevere, maybe in a few years they will be able to get American status, but so what? It's still the bottom of society, and it's better to open a small restaurant and do a little business, and then their hope is to raise the next generation and let their children get ahead.
The United States always promotes its own American dream, especially when a certain minority succeeds, they will promote their own set of theories to the outside world, but in fact, these successful examples are piled up over several generations, and behind this successful example is the efforts of a dozen or even dozens of people for a lifetime, and a bunch of people's dreams are piled up to build up a person's dream, what is this called the American dream?
